"Little guy! Let's go! Let's go back!" The contract of recognition was completed, and Nalant returned to the castle happily holding the golden Yellow Sprite!

The next morning, in the maid's bedroom on the first floor of the castle.

"Huh?" Catherine woke up leisurely, but the discomfort that spread throughout her body made her hum involuntarily.

"Ah! Amazing sister, you finally woke up!" At this moment, Catherine heard an exclamation in his ears. It was Sherry who was arranged to take care of Catherine here.

Hearing this call, Catherine finally woke up, saw clearly the appearance of the girl in front of him, and Catherine remembered his situation.

She sat up suddenly. She originally wanted to get out of the bed, but unfortunately she only stood up a little. Her whole body was sore and weak, and she finally fell down on the edge of the bed.

"Sister Awesome, don't move yet! The master said that you were poisoned the night before yesterday! Although the master has helped you inhale the (mythical beast) poison to heal your injuries, you will definitely not recover so quickly!" Sherry immediately stepped forward to stop Catherine's actions.

"Xi poison cures injuries?" Catherine stiffened and looked at him subconsciously.

She was even more shocked when she saw what she was wearing. She was actually wearing a castle maid outfit.

"Don't worry, awesome sister. Sister Vivian and I changed your clothes. I just tore off the sleeves when I was helping you inject poison and heal your wounds!" Sherry thought he understood Catherine's thoughts and immediately explained.

After Catherine heard this, his expression still did not improve.

After Sherry reminded her, she already remembered what happened that night before she completely lost consciousness.

She remembered that after she fell to the ground, the young lord immediately stepped forward and hugged her.

Originally this was nothing, but after a moment, Catherine felt a sense of warmth coming from his arm, followed by the feeling of being sucked continuously.

Mixed with shame and anger, she completely fainted.

"Is he detoxifying?"

Catherine Ask yourself.

But she couldn't find the answer. She had never heard of using mouth to detoxify.

But now it seems that he is not dead, and there is no reason to blame this young lord.

"Awesome sister, are you hungry? If so, I will go to the kitchen to find my mother to get you some food to eat?" Sherry saw Catherine's startled look and immediately spoke with concern.

"Thank you, Sherry. I'm not very hungry now. I want to ask where your lord is!" Catherine, who became a prisoner, was not in the mood to eat at this time.

She didn't know what she would encounter next, and her plan to rescue Raymond and others seemed to have failed.

"Hey, awesome sister, how do you know my name?" Sherry asked in surprise, "Sir, he took sister Vivian out of the castle. He got a Yellow Sprite last night, and today he took Sprite to find a habitat for it!"

"That night I heard you and Vivian calling each other, so I knew your names! Sherry, my name is Catherine!"

"Sister Catherine, will you stay with us in the castle from now on!" Sherry blinked his big eyes and asked Catherine expectantly.

"I don't know!" Catherine was asked by Sherry, and she didn't know how to choose.

Moreover, even if he wanted to leave now, would the young lord be willing to let him go?

I'm afraid it would be merciful not to kill myself!

When Sherry was talking to Catherine, Nalant was only more than a mile away from the castle.

"Hey! The little guy reacted!" Riding on the back of Lightning, Nalant suddenly looked happy, as Yellow Sprite seemed to have found a satisfactory habitat.

Nalant is very much looking forward to the mine he is about to acquire.

If it were a gold or silver mine, it would be so cool!

"Go! Little guy! Work harder!"

Full of expectations, Nalant gently threw the little guy to the ground.

"Migu Migu!"

After the little guy landed, he yelled twice happily, and then quickly headed towards the wasteland beside the dirt road.

After almost continuing for more than a mile, the little guy finally stopped.

After the little guy stopped, the yellow light began to slowly gather on his body. When the light converged to the point where it could not be seen directly with the naked eye, with a buzzing sound, the light formed ripples and rippled towards the surroundings.

This process lasted for more than half a minute. After half a minute, everything around him returned to normal, and Yellow Sprite began to wander around leisurely.

"It's done!" Nalant was delighted.

However, there was no visible situation on the ground at this time.

"Vivian, let the guards start digging!"

Under normal circumstances, even if the mine produced by Yellow Sprite is not bare ore, it is not buried deep enough, so you can determine exactly what kind of ore you have obtained by digging through the soil.

"Yes, sir!"

The guards had already brought hoes and started digging in the wasteland under the command of Vivian.

Nalant walked to the side and started waiting under the shade of a tree.

Time passed minute by minute.

"Sir, it seems we have dug it!"

More than ten minutes later, a voice came from Vivian.

"What kind of mine is it?"

Nalant stood up and ran over quickly.

"Sir... we don't know each other!" Vivian shook his head slightly unsure of himself.

Nalant felt anxious when he saw this. This is not a common mine. This is not good.

"This is..." When Nalant came to the edge of the pit, he looked down and frowned slightly.

There was no ore in the pit about two meters deep, but instead a layer of gray-white soil.

After thinking for a moment, Nalant finally found the relevant memory in his mind.

"Is this clay?"

In order to verify the accuracy, Nalant jumped into the pit and grabbed a handful of gray-white soil with his hands.

"Delicate and firm, this is really clay!"

"Sir! How is this mine?" Vivian heard this and asked cautiously from the side.

Under normal circumstances, the favorite mines of nobles are metal mines, because either type represents wealth.

But now that he heard that this was actually dirt, Vivian became a little worried for his master.

"How should I put it? If it is before processing, then it is no different from other ordinary soil!" Although it is not too disappointing, it is still far from the copper ore and iron ore that Nalant expected.

"Ah, isn't that worthless!" Vivian couldn't help but feel sad.

"That's not what you are saying. You have seen the pottery pots and pottery bowls we usually use, they are made of this clay!"

"Ah! So pottery pots and pottery bowls are made of this clay? Sir, so this clay is actually valuable!" Vivian's frustration immediately diminished.

"Yes, it is actually very valuable, at least it should be more valuable than imagined!" Nalant smiled.

Of course, he was not planning to make ceramic pots and bowls for sale. Ceramics are not very valuable in this world.

Because the ceramic making technology in this world is very backward, both the production craftsmanship and the glaze on the outside of the ceramic are at a primitive level.

Therefore, nobles prefer to use gold and silver vessels.

Of course, if you can create works of art like JDZ blue and white porcelain, Longquan celadon or Ru kiln in the past, I believe you can still make a lot of money.

I just want Nalant to develop pottery to this level in a short period of time, which is no less than asking him to make a rifle with his bare hands now.

So, his real idea was to bake bricks.

Thanks to book friend "Yiman" for the reward!!!
